I'm no expert, but I think the problem of the homeless is that they are without a home/residence.

Typically a symptom, not the root issue.

How is giving them "a coffee and a bagel" remedying the situation? And if it's not, how is that "[t]aking individual responsibilty for helping others"?

It is not remedying the situation, it's showing some direct kindness instead of expecting others to deal with it.

Whatever the reason behind it, the homeless person is there and likely hasn't eaten. What you do about that is up to you, I guess. (Though established homeless charities will likely make better use of the money).

If you're just using other peoples misery to make yourself feel good then maybe you should just keep it to yourself.

A very skewed view of the situation. Though I agree it doesn't really have any place on this thread. But then, what does?

Seems like losing too much paper profits makes me cranky.

No need to be cranky...it's the weekend and a great buying opportunity!

Can't believe its eight hours later and you're still talking about it...LOL!

Lighten up man...life is good! Maybe when I retire and open my soup kitchen I'll call it Fatmans!

Enjoy your weekend...no harm no foul!

I seem to have irked some of your comrades. All I get is the house troll backing me up.
